OUR MISSION

Young people are faced with so many challenges today. For example, some are faced with bullying, body shaming, peer pressure, trauma, homelessness, finding their identity or purpose and just recently a mass school shooting. The list goes on and on. Proverbs for Teens: How to Live, Love, Laugh, and Have it All On Purpose is a devotional prayer journal that enlightens students on how teens can live, love, laugh and have it all by having a "Proverbs mindset."

Proverbs for Teens: How to Live, Love, Laugh, & Have It All on Purpose is also a  21 Day Challenge that highlights the Book of Proverbs. The Book of Proverbs is understood for being the playbook/manual for living and understanding how life works. Each chapter or day in Proverbs for Teens: How to Live, Love, Laugh & Have it All on Purpose, a chapter from the Book of Proverbs will be highlighted and I will share my life lessons  surrounding subjects like dating, peer pressure, hurt, friends, situationships, and more! I also intentionally leave space for you to journal your thoughts and feelings about the scripture or topic. Finally, there is space for you to write down your goals and conduct a mini career assessment at the end of the book. If you desire to see the culture around you change for the better then this is the book for you! Once you are finished reading Proverbs for Teens: How to Live, Love, Laugh, & Have It All On Purpose you will have a better attitude and perspective on life. More important, you will further impact the culture you live, work, or play in.  

To keep the book from being so boring, I open up by talking about how life is like the movie called "The Matrix." In the movie, Morpheus gives Neo a choice to take a red pill or a blue pill. The red pill symbolizes the truth, and the blue pill symbolizes returning to his regular normal life as he knows it. As a result, Neo decides to take the red pill. Neo soon finds out that he is the “Chosen One” to save Zion from being destroyed. He also finds out that he has enemies such as the machines, agents, and systems. In real life, we are also faced with machines, agents, and systems in the form of distractions, disparities, etc. Life can be overwhelming or even painful. The distractions and some of the systems of this Western culture we live in can even disempower us along the lines of social/economical/racial equity if they are not reformed or changed.  I wrote this journal for anyone who has a hurting/troubled teenager or who works with troubled youth. My hope is that God will get the glory. I  also hope that those who read this book will find the answers they are looking for and find this book enriching as well. I look forward to hearing from you all soon and thanks again for entrusting me to share this book with your child, work, or school!
